The energy created during these performances had a profound Impact that he still feels today.

When Asked what has been his most profound musical experience, Ethan talks about when he moved to Sarotoga Springs,NY, and immersed himself in the music scene. It was there where he was exposed to many different styles of music, perfecting what he calls his "true sound." He doesn't feel as though his music fits into any one genra, but is a mixture of many different musical influences.
Ethan Likes to tell stories through his music. He states, "As a musician, there is no better feeling then to look into a crowd and see people singing along to one of my songs, or when they approach me after a show and tell me that a particular song reminded them of something in thier own life. I love music so much because the ability to touch peoples lives through lyric and melody is amazing, and I feel sometimes I can do that, with mine."
Ethan Is currently performing in venues throughout CT (Molly Darceys, Widow Browns cafe', 59 bankstreet) and NY( Town Criere, The Bayou Cafe', Saratoga City Tavern) He also has been a featured guest on the WRKI I-95 morning show.
Ethan cites Sublime as a big influence on his music because of there ecletic mix of Reggae, Hip hop, Punk, Rock, and Folk. He also cites James Taylor because of his unique voice and song writing Ability.
